Please be mindful of students who walk or ride their bikes to school when entering and exiting the car rider lines. In particular, please yield to students who are crossing traffic on the drive between the baseball and football fields.

 

We want to make sure everyone—students, families, and staff—stays safe during these busy times in the morning and afternoon. Thank you for slowing down, staying alert, and helping us keep our students safe!

Dismissal Changes: If you need to make an end of day change, please notify your child's teacher as soon as possible. Changes through the office will need to be received no later than 2:00 pm. This is for the safety of all students. Thank you for understanding.

Early Dismissal: Anyone picking up a student from the office will need to bring a photo ID.

Appointments: If your student has to miss school for an appointment, please provide a Dr.'s note to the office as soon as possible so we can update their attendance records. Your student can bring the note to school, or you can email it to bmatson@flcs.k12.in.us.

To help keep our car rider line safe and efficient, please review the following updates:

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep all students safe while making the car rider line run as smoothly as possible.

We understand that busy schedules and the rush of mornings can sometimes lead to students forgetting essential items at home. To ensure a smooth process for delivering these forgotten items, we have established a procedure for dropping off items at the school office.  

Here is how to proceed:

While we understand the need to drop off forgotten items on occasion, we encourage students to develop responsibility and be prepared for their school day as much as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and productive learning environment for all our students. Please feel free to contact the front office if you have any questions.

We are pleased to announce that Before and After Care payments for the 2026/2027 school year can now be made through ParentSquare!

This payment is set up as an “open” amount, allowing you to enter the exact amount you would like to pay toward your bill. Simply select the payment post, type in the amount you wish to pay, Type your child(ren)'s name in the "Optional Memo" line and submit!

Please note that payments will not post to your account until the funds have been deposited into our bank account. Once the deposit has cleared, your payment will be reflected in our records. Please have patience with this process as it can take a couple of days before being updated.

If you have any questions, please contact Lou Ann Mason, ECA Treasurer, at lmason@flcs.k12.in.us or 765-534-3101.
